Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

“the principles that drive the Rock review into tenant farming are sound. Nothing shows the value of certainty more clearly than this. Tenant farmers need a fair deal. They need to know their futures are secure … But we can’t do it by taking advantage of tenant farmers, farmers producing good British food on carefully maintained, fertile land. They can’t plan properly if the soil beneath their feet isn’t secure. It’s a huge barrier to planning sustainable food production, so we’ve got to give them a fair deal, and we’ve got to use our land well”.
